10 Secrets About Electric Vehicles

First Electric Car

First Electric car was designed and built by Thomas Parker in 1884.

More Expensive Than ICE Cars

Because of the high cost of battery the EVs are usually costlier.

Low Maintenance

EVs have fewer parts compared to ICE vehicles and hence need less maintenance.

Carbon Emission

The production of electric cars generates more carbon emissions compared to conventional cars.

Heavier Than ICE Vehicles

Because of heavy elements used in the batteries the weight surpasses ICE vehicles.

Regenerative Braking

EVs often use regenerative braking tech. When you apply the brakes, the motor acts as a generator, converting kinetic energy back into electricity.

Charging Time Variability

The time it takes to charge an EV can vary significantly depending on the charger's power level and battery capacity.

Charging Speed Decreases Overtime

EVs charge faster when the battery is low and gradually slow down as it approaches full capacity.

Temperature's Effect On Range

Extreme cold or hot weather can reduce an EV's range.

Resale Value

EVs tend to depreciate at a slower rate than gasoline cars because the cost of battery replacement is a significant part of the vehicle's value.
